Also recommend the penon cable. Very soft and high quality.

Been trying find good quality c to c cable. I used the ddhfi cable it sounded great but has started cutting off and on. I only used it the iPad and wore out in a month from just connecting/disconnecting it to charge iPad. Currently trying out the woo audio cable but seemed to sound slighly worse then the ddhfi cable. Going have to compare more to be sure So take that comment with grain of salt. Anyways figure I’ll ask see if anyone else can recommend something of a higher quality.

Only one tried which seems to survive to the weighty LP hanging (so far). Never tried the Penon though (four times more expensive).

I have passed these to LP and they will have their engineers look into these suggestions. :) Thanks for your feedback!
Yes, an app to control PEQ and crossfeed would bring this to absolutely next level DAP replacement!

I will just wait for the next FW update. For now, my method is faster XD. Would rather L&P fix this though
Interesting issue. Don’t recall reading this being reported by anyone else. In which case, it is not so much a bug because that would then plague more users. Either a FW reflash may help. Or it may an issue with the unit itself.

It's here! So excited~~ Full comparisons to come soon.

Initial impressions (spoiler alert :ksc75smile:)
1. No EMI/RFI on both devices for me even during evening walks. Yay!
2. W2 is definitely capable of being louder (duh!), but not that much
3. I like both! Sound tuning (Lotoo + AKM vs L&P + Cirrus Logic) is different enough to be distinct. Can confirm earlier reviews that S1 is warmer and W2 is cleaner.

Very happy boy today this weekend. This is IEM endgame, guys. Seriously! Now going off to find an amp for my old, old Beyerdynamic T1 OG :beyersmile:

I hope I can get my W2 soon. Do I need to update firmware? I saw you guys discussing about FW.

Had an issue on W2 where there is a loud hissing on the right channel after inserting a 4.4mm cable and then starting to play music. After multiple replugging W2 into the desktop or the phone, or multiple replugging the cable from 4.4mm or 3.5mm, the hiss still continues as if it is saved into W2. Hissing still continues to occur on both 4.4mm and 3.5mm out. The only way to correct it is to unplug W2 from desktop/phone, switch the cable from 4.4mm to 3.5mm out, replug the W2, and the hissing is gone on both 4.4mm and 3.5mm. Occurred twice already, believe it is a bug on W2.
+1 experienced as well. Just disconnect and reconnect and it resets the W2. Hope for quick fix.

Sorry for multi response. Mine came with 1.0.2.6 preloaded, so no need to update FW.

If you're a Windows 10 user, you may. I don't know if the new driver alone solved the issues on Windows 10 or if you need the driver/firmware combo. Otherwise I don't think you really need to, unless you own Xelento, IE800, SE846 and plan to use provided specific EQ.

I plan to use with my iPhone 11 pro max. And iPad pro ^^

Can someone please help me with the link to purchase the leather case?. The corner of the glass display is cracked a bit on mine , I need to put this in a case ASAP before it’s too late .. I’ve never dropped it , so I’m not sure how it happened.
